"It's an opportunity for us to thank Judy Murray, and Andy and Jamie, for what they've done for tennis" - Billie Jean King on decision to host Cup Finals in Glasgow

Billie Jean King will be in Glasgow for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals and for her it's a great way to thank the Murray family for what they did for tennis.

The Murray family has left a big mark on tennis history through the brothers' Andy and Jamie. Their mother Judy Murray has been involved with tennis all her life and helped her sons develop into a very successful tennis sibling pairing. Both are grand slam champions with Jamie mostly playing doubles as opposed to Murray who is a singles player.

Speaking to BBC, Billie Jean King Cup spoke about the Finals being hosted in Glasgow:

"It's important for Scotland to have this big event. Maybe it will ignite some child, in their heart and mind, to want to play and be a champion. I hope it really inspires some young person in the stands."

She continued:

"It's an opportunity for us to thank Judy Murray, and Andy and Jamie, for what they've done for tennis. Judy is a positive, great force. Listen to her. Do what she asks because she understands every facet of the sport. Andy has been a great ally to women, he believes in equality, he's amazing in that regard. He gets it. Look at how he was raised, he sees how his mother continues to work for our sport."
